Hi Gerald,
You've made my imagination work well with this!
The houses, then the trees being felled, then the churches... how our lives
are ringed by distinct, different, things that can matter.
And, for me, magpies ain't friendly birds (they have a reputation for
stealing, they're said to be exterminating lots of other species by eating
their eggs) so I've got yet more to think over.
So much in just over 20 words...
Bob
